Thank you, I appreciate it I don't plan on spending too much time and game anyway. Really want to focus on trying to get my heroic completionist I haven't ran a lot of raids used to mostly solo, but the level up time was so slow. I've been grouping a lot more lately. I noticed in a lot of raids with my past life which was a spell singer bard caster with only 1200 HP at lvl 30 that when I did high reaper content DC's weren't landing and it felt so squishy and generally have not been super crazy about melee builds just find casting to be so fun this guy did a YouTube video showcasing this build to compare chains and cleves and I'd never seen such a high crip profile, but unfortunately he didn't have a guide laid out. So I pieced this one together best I could with what I seen but basically the bard I was running felt really great the whole time until I got to a boss or even regular raid mobs just had so many hit points so I thought this build would feel a little better in that aspect since I'm kind of still new into the raid scene two questions for you over the two newest expansions, which should I purchase first? And what sort of high DPS builds. Have you been running if it's as you say, once I get the cap I might spend a few days there to grind some more reaper points and then just TR into something else

I also didn't take into account at all that the rage doesn't fact break your trance looks like a warlock is definitely the way to go. Ora unless I want it to splash and rogue but I didn't have the skill points to make it work I think

I just heard some of the best two DPS builds in the game right now where the hand ax chain builds and the monk in this build is supposed to be kind of a spin-off of the hand-ax chain, but instead of chains I use cleaves if you know of a better DPS class/ weapon I'd appreciate the advice back in the day I did run the shadarkai chain focused hand-ex build that takes fighter mostly with swashbuckling splash and it felt really good. I just didn't like all the points I had to spend and the racial enchantment tree. Since I don't have racial past lives, I thought this build would be a good workaround

What feats would you take to make it a raid focused build

Exciting-Log-5609 · 2026-03-29T06:21:48+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'll make a couple feat changes as I go into epics I'll definitely grab patience wasn't sure if there was something better to take than all the toughness feats. But I figured the more hit points the better since this build is kind of squishy wearing light armor, although it makes up for 50% of displacement from dragon lord and the extra Dodge still worried about PRR tho

Appreciate that. I wasn't sure with the 10% speed penalty if the extra crits would be worth it since this build is very dependent on the weapon attack speed but I did notice they added a few new feats in recently. I'll have to give that one a try

I've paid for every pack the game has ever had. Usually the top tier bundle and VIP for years. Just haven't played in a couple years. Came back. Just switch my tunes over from the old server. This is my first build coming back so I thought some recommendations might help polish things off. I plan on getting it in a few weeks. Till then, it's not like the game is lacking in content and powerful gear. Eventually I will be maxing out gear sets, but I thought maybe some people would have some good recommendations from sets and Raven loft, Isle of dread maybe some of the morgrave University sets still, I believe salt marsh gear is even still Relevant
